Here is a cross post that I actually made yesterday to an individual that is one year younger than you..
It's slightly long, but I'm going to edit some of it so it applies to you.. I strongly advised that you read this from top to bottom.
Do not take this as sarcastic criticism, because I care about people, and I care about you.

@kt22222, Let's ditch the science jargon and keep it light,
"mathematics, cake and broomsticks with a sprinkle of overthinking"..
Read on, you'll catch my drift, I hope.
Dumbing this down a little bit and sending you into a different direction, simplifying and switching gears might be the best approach. Direction is like a punchline, delivery is key!
This may not be the response you want to hear
@kt22222 and not meant to be a buzzkill, but your diet and metabolism are like the dynamic duo that determines how your muscles look. They're like the ultimate tag-team champions that can make or break your gains...
Listen, metabolic rate and macros, timing is everything..Truly, It's like a mathematical equation that needs to be solved for optimal gains my guy, you will never learn the equation if you don't study, you need to study yourself, not the drugs and quick fixes. Studying comes through listening and learning to interpret all of the adjustments you make, and understanding all the curves through repeated experiences.
If you want those gains to show up, you need to be timing those macros right, and AGAIN don't forget to consider your metabolic rate. It's like baking a cake, except you're the cake and the oven is your body...
@kt22222 Testosterone,NPP and similar drugs are NOT quick fixes, they can't save the day. It's like relying on a self-driving broom to sweep your porch while you nap -
stop kidding yourself with these drugs.
You gotta stick with the basics in order to learn. Quit lookin' for shortcuts and put in some real effort. Newsflash: even the most seasoned veterans use good ol' fashioned testosterone sometimes - however you are light years away from even considering this drug or even any of them.
@kt22222 - Get a grip..You need to crawl before you can walk, my friend. These quick fixes ain't gonna cut it. Just roll up your sleeves and put in the hard work, like the rest of us.
Geez, it's not that complicated!
I'm just servin' up some straight talk with a side of sass, cause I truly give a hoot about people. I'll give you props for not being a one-hit wonder, you are very persistent and you keep coming back like a classic hit, always coming back on the charts!
Until next time, keep it simple and don't overthink it too much... Now, that'll be $50 for your session today, and no, you can't overthink that too!
@kt22222 stay in the kitchen, work on things there.
